Shame that those catalina promotions of days gone by have ruined me for pasta sauce that’s merely cheap, but so it is…However, if you need to stock up on a few things, I’d hit up the Jewel, with the Save $5 Instantly promotion starting tomorrow, November 15.  Ragu is 99¢ after the 50¢ instant savings…but you want to get your hands on the Centrella sales ads, which contain a $1/2 Ragu mfr coupon (Pete’s Fresh Market and Garden Fresh Market are both Centrella stores).

The other thing I’ll probably buy with the Ragu is the Rhodes Warm-N-Serv rolls for $2.49 less the 50¢ because there are lots of $1 coupons out there:  10/14 r and 11/11 r (use both the rolls and the specific Warm-N-Serv coupons).  Brings the cost down to 99¢ a package, a great price.  These are very tasty rolls.  Let’s be honest here:  I don’t like paying 99¢, but I would like paying $2.49 or $1.99 even less!

Betty Crocker Specialty Potatoes are 99¢ after the savings – there’s a $3/4 coupon in the 11/4 s, which should work because I think it’s the boxes on sale.  This would give you .24¢ potatoes.  No, it wouldn’t!  The coupon from 10/07 GM is for .50/2, so 75¢ a box.  well, still better than a sharp stick in the eye…

The Knorr Homestyle Stock is $2.49, so toss in the $1 coupon from 11/11 rp.  I got tons of these for free with a coupon on a Dominicks’ clearance rack some time ago – they are a very easy way to flavor gravies or soups.

That’s what I see as the best for stock-ups.  If you see anything additional, please comment.  Until the stars align properly once again, we’ll do large quantity stock-ups and just shop our stockpiles.
